Twitter pledges to deal with platform abuses

Number one priority: Its management's primary focus is to make Twitter a safe space.

Social network Twitter has admitted it's still not doing enough to curb abuse and is promising to put things right this time. 

On Tuesday, the company's VP of engineering, Ed Ho, took to Twitter to say "Making Twitter a safer place is our primary focus and we are now moving with more urgency than ever." He also used his account to accept that until now the site has not been doing enough to eradicate cyber bullying, cyber stalking and the ability of those already banned from the site from setting up new accounts and continuing with the types of actions that got them blocked in the first place.
